Fisher has been a full-time alternate captain for the Predators the last three seasons.

''He plays to win every night,'' Poile said. ''He's a leader in our locker room. He's a great role model both on and off the ice for all of our players. He and his wife are great in the community of Nashville. I think this is a step toward probably having him finish his career in Nashville.''
